SILENTLY ILL.
Mr.. Blaine Suffering from Bronchial
Catarrh,
A Disease Otherwise Known as
Slight Cold.
Exaggerated Stories EAfioat Concern
ing His Condition.

A despatch from St. Louis yesterday after
noon reported Mr.. Blaine seriously i'll at
Fort Gibson, Indian Territory, and said ply
slclans had been telegraphed for. Later in
the afternoon it was reported that private
despatch had been received in st. Louis say
ing he had bad cold and was threatened
with pneumonia. Still later a despatch re-
ported that Mr.. r. G. Keins, apersonal friend
oil Mr. Blaine, accompanied by DR.. II. III.
Mudd, prominent physician of st. Louis,
left that city on the p. m. train for Fort
Gibson. Naturally the vague reports, and
especially the fact that physician had been
summoned from st. Louis, gave rise to ap-
prehensions that Mr.. Blaine's illness might
be severe. Late last night, however, the fol-
lowing reassuring telegram was received:
ST.LoUIs. April S.-The following despatch
was received by the Associated Press at $50
tonight, In reply to telegram sent this morn
ing, TO the commandant of the post at Fort
Gibson, asking for an account Of Mr.. Blaine's
sickness:
. FORT GIBSON, l. IT,, April 8, 1SS7-Mr. Blaine
is suffering from bronchial catarrh with fever Of
a remittlng type. He sleeps well and has no ty-

PRESS from Augusta S follows:
To the Portland Press:

An Associated Press dispatch from Angus
ia said Mr. Manley's information came from
Mr.. Emmons Blaine.

EngIand,s claim on Tortueas.

WASHINGTON. April S.-Although CORE
spondence has not yet begun between the
Department of State at Washington and the
government of Great Britain in regard to
the reported threat of England to seize Tor
tugas Island from Hayti in default of debt,
yet an investigation is under way and all of
the data relating to the subject in possession
of the department is being collected.
The English claim appears to be very intri
cate in its nature. The correspondence in
Mr.. Frelinghuysen's administration shows
that the claim is an individual one, based
upon number of cessions and contracts re-
garding privilege to cut mahogany that
was not cut, or at least in sufficient quantity.
The amount of the claim in Secretary Ere
linghuysen's administration was placed at
100000.
The French government has ordered the
man-of-war now in West Indian waters TO
proceed Immediately to Port au Princej to
protect Europeans there in view Of the re-
ports of the threatened massacre by Hay-
items, in the event of their government com
plyiHg with the demands of Great Britain
Advices received by the Haytien legation
in Paris from Port au Prince say that the
Haytiens are much excited over Great
Britain's demand, but deny that they have
threatened to massacre foreigners.
